this was very interesting, thanks for posting it is so awful the poor being hit so hard and all these people making money out of the shake up of the nhs etc I live in Leeds and am shocked after the large petition and all their efforts that child heart surgery is to be stopped at Leeds, this was so sad. So, as some, and more to come, doors close for the poor and sick, plenty of doors are open for the wealthy of this country and how surprised I am to see so m any conservative MPs involved, or am I?
